The Reebok CrossFit Games is one of the fastest growing sporting events in the world and has rapidly transformed from a niche event into one with a mainstream audience with people around the world watching the CrossFit Games live stream. They have taken the sports world by storm, gathering some of the best athletes from across the globe to push their skills to the limit. It’s a must-watch event that is sure to leave you stunned at the incredible things the men and women competitors are able to do. If you’d like to watch a Crossfit Games live stream, we’ll show you how below.

The 2016 Reebok CrossFit Games take place from July 19 to July 24, and while all of the action will be aired live on the ESPN family of networks, you don’t need to have cable to enjoy every moment. This year, there are plenty of legal ways you can watch a CrossFit Games live stream online. Below, I detail all of the legal options for you to watch the CrossFit Games online over the internet on your TV, phone, tablet, or computer.

Sling TV Lets You Watch the CrossFit Games Live Stream

Sling TV offers perhaps the best way to watch the CrossFit Games online. Sling TV is a live streaming service from Dish Network that delivers a number of popular channels without an expensive cable contract. For just $20 a month, you can stream live channels like ESPN, ESPN2, AMC, TBS, TNT, HGTV, CNN, and more to your TV, phone, tablet, or computer using your internet connection.

You pay month-to-month and you can cancel any time, just like you would with Netflix, Amazon Prime Instant Video, or any other streaming service. And did I mention that Sling TV (review here) is the only way you can legally watch ESPN online without a cable subscription?

The ESPN channels will offer extensive coverage of the CrossFit Games. All of the Masters, Team, and Individual events will be covered on the ESPN family of networks. That’s every heat of every event for every division. To watch ESPN3, you’ll need to download the WatchESPN app. You’ll need to verify your Sling TV subscription (or participating high-speed internet service) on the WatchESPN app to access ESPN3 and other exclusive content on the app. So, with ESPN3 alone, you could watch the entire CrossFit games online.

Additionally, ESPN and ESPN2 will offer many hours of premier coverage of the event. That’s more coverage on these channels than ever before.

So, Sling TV will let you watch the CrossFit games live stream every single day. And here’s the best part — you can sign up for a free 7-day trial of Sling TV right now and watch the CrossFit Games online in their entirety without spending a cent.

Watch the CrossFit Games Online with PlayStation Vue

PlayStation Vue provides another alternative way to stream the CrossFit Games online. It, too, offers ESPN and ESPN2 in its basic streaming package. This means that you’ll be able to use it to access CrossFit Games streaming.

Vue has several plans available, with the cost starting at $30 a month for 55+ channels. So, it’s a bit more expensive than Sling TV, but it does offer more channels.

As for devices, currently only Amazon Fire TV, Roku, PS3/PS4, Chromecast and iPad are compatible with Vue. Also, you won’t be able to watch from outside your home as mobile viewing is restricted (even on iPad). Read our PS Vue review to learn more.

YouTube Offers Its Own CrossFit Games Live Stream

YouTube will do its own streaming of the CrossFit Games, but there are some restrictions. For those outside of the United States, YouTube will stream the entire event live, including Masters, Teenagers, Teams, and Individuals events. This coverage will be the exact same as that shown on ESPN3. However, for audiences within the United States, the CrossFit Games stream on YouTube will be limited to the Masters, Teenagers, and Teams events. You will still have to go to ESPN3 for Individuals events.
